This communication presents a synthesis of the research conducted with European teachers, to know what skills develop during their teaching practice in the University. The research will be based on questions as: what are the main features of the work of university teachers in the EU? What skills are most notably in his work? To what extend affect the training received in the bachelor degree? What are the differences and similarities between different European universities? To gain this purpose, it´s developed an investigation based on the mobility of Erasmus students at the University of Jaén (Spain) and those who come to it from other European universities. The objective is that these students gather relevant information about how university teaching arises in the studied subjects, so as to express how they see the teaching act by themselves, taking a different view of classrooms activity. To achieve this, it´s built a portfolio based on a system of categories that collect curricular competencies, instructional, related decisions, methodology and classroom organization, communication, relating to use of ICT and evaluatives. Thus the students participating score globally observations with regard to attending classes and practice sessions. What is presented in this paper is a synthesis of the developed study, due to it´s not possible to have concrete evidence at the present time.
